The soundtrack predated the film by months: It was released on. More impactful than all of them combined, though, was the movie’s soundtrack. Singles is loaded with such ultra-specific references and cameos. Rather than cast actors to play the rest of Citizen Dick, though, former rock journalist Crowe gave the parts to three members of Mookie Blaylock: Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, and Jeff Ament much of Dillon’s wardrobe in the film was borrowed from Ament. Crowe started production on Singles a year after Wood’s death, in March 1991 - months before the release of Nevermind or Ten (in fact, when he started work on Singles, Pearl Jam was still called Mookie Blaylock) - and one of the film’s narrative threads follows Matt Dillion as the leader of a fictional Seattle rock band called Citizen Dick. That community is represented to an insane degree in the movie.
Said Crowe, “It made me want to do Singles as a love letter to the community that I was really moved by.” In the book Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History Of Grunge, Crowe says that the March 1990 heroin-related death of Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood - and the community that came together after his death - served as something of an inspiration for the film.
It’s an amiable rom-com starring Campbell Scott and Kyra Sedgwick, and some say a great movie, but is most notable because it was filmed and set in Seattle, 1991, just as that city’s musical subculture was about to explode.
